SNOW HILL -- Goldsboro broke the 400-stroke barrier for the first time since the program's resurrection three seasons ago by carding a four-man total of 398 during an Eastern Plains 2-A golf match Monday afternoon at Cutter Creek Golf Club.

The Cougars finished fifth in the six-team field.

Ricky Castillo, Obediah Speight, Ricky Richardson and Jeremy Chapman led Goldsboro to its best finish in the modern era.

"I am really pleased with how far this program has come," said Goldsboro head coach Al Sutherland. "From scoring 500 two years ago to 398 this season is a huge improvement."

Farmville Central won the meet with a 322 and Tarboro finished eight strokes back.
